A heavy, wide display sans with rounded, swollen forms and softened corners that keep the mass from feeling harsh. Strokes are thick with minimal modulation, and counters are generally small relative to the overall letter mass, creating a dense, poster-like color. Many glyphs show distinctive wedge-like notches and angled cut-ins (notably on curves and joins), giving the shapes a carved, chiseled rhythm while retaining an overall smooth silhouette. The lowercase uses a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders and simple, sturdy constructions, while figures are broad and highly graphic.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its mass and distinctive cut-ins can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding wordmarks, packaging, and merch/apparel graphics. It can work for short bursts of copy in advertising or social graphics, but the dense counters and heavy color make it less comfortable for long-form text.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a friendly, slightly cartoonish energy that reads as retro-influenced and attention-seeking. Its chunky geometry and quirky cut-ins add personality, making it feel informal and fun rather than corporate or austere.
The design appears intended as a characterful, high-impact display sans that combines rounded, friendly proportions with deliberate carved accents to stand out in branding and headline applications.
The alphabet shows intentionally idiosyncratic details—such as the sharp internal angles on letters like S and the distinctive terminals on J, a, and y—that create a recognizable voice at display sizes. The strong weight and tight internal spaces suggest it will perform best with generous tracking and ample line spacing in longer settings.
